The Office of Diversity’s goal is to recruit, retain and increase the number of minority students enrolled in the Keck School and to provide counsel to minority medical students as well as to high school and undergraduate students. Established more than 30 years ago through a grant from the Josiah Macy Foundation, the Office of Diversity recognizes the importance of diversity and supports all efforts to promote the richness of our cultures on campus.
At the Keck School of Medicine diversity means recognizing the richness of our differences and celebrating them together. By promoting diversity on campus, the Office of Diversity prepares students for the diverse population they will encounter on the wards during their clinical rotations and in their future careers as physicians. Our goal is to graduate socially aware and culturally competent physicians prepared to practice in the global community.
